It’s my A father’s voice trailing off
Sailors sailing off in the morning
For the A air-conditioned rooms at the top of the stairs

His A jaw’s been broken, his bandages wrapped too tight
His A fangs have been pulled
and I really want to see you tonight A/Eb D

Inter A E/A A D/A A/Eb D

There’s A bourbon on the E/A breath
Of the A singer you D/A love so A/Eb much D
He A takes all his E/A words from the A books
that you don’t read D/A anyway

His A jaw’s been A/E broken
his A/F# bandages A/D wrapped too A/B tight A/D
His A fangs have been A/E pulled
and I A/F# really want to A/D see you to-A/B night A/D

A Someone ties a A/E bow
In my A/F# backyard to A/D show me A/B love A/D
My A voice is climbing A/E walls
A/F# Smoking and A/D I want A/B love A/D

My A jaw’s been A/E broken
My A/F# heart is A/D wrapped in A/B ice A/D
My A fangs have been A/E pulled
And I A/F# really want to A/D see you to-A/B night A/D

And it A makes no E/G# difference to F#m me A7
How they D cried all D/E over over-A seas B7
When it’s D hot in the Dm poor places to-A night
Dm I’m not D going out-A side E/G# F#m D B7 D – A

They Dm/A cried all G/A over over-A seas
And it Dm/A makes no G/A difference to A me
When it’s Dm/A hot in the G/A poor places to-A night
Dm/A I’m not G/A going out-A side Dm/A G/A A
When it’s Dm/A hot in the G/A poor places to-A night
